Current Voltage Regulators by
David Oneill
Hi All
Just a quick message to say thanks to all the readers who replied to my
earlier posting.
It’s always encouraging to know that there are people out there who will
take the time and trouble to pass on their knowledge to others.
I have been tied up with work this last week so have not done any more
to Daimler.
The general consensus appears to be that the regulator should work OK,
so I think I...

Starting car after 8 months by
Graham Markwell
Due to circumstances we have not started or moved our Triumph Mayflower for
eight months, it has stood on the drive where it was parked. What
precautions should we take when we try to start it again, I assume that all
the oil will have drained down into the sump giving no initial protection to
the moving parts ? Any advice would be gratefully received.

money while all the while keeping my lovely car on the road. However

Triumph GT6 performance/spray person required question by
Anthony Caira
Dear all
A year ago my wife passed away. We had a Gt6 and was with us for 8 years. I
lost all interest and put it away for a year. Well, I'm back in the real
world again and trailered it to my new home a few weeks ago.
With a little TLC and a fair bit of cash I've got it back on the road. A
years storage had led to siezed brakes and carbs - but all sorted now.
I know I will be condemned for...

How do I store tires/tyres for a very long time??? by
Lucas Jensen
I have some new, unused tires which recently went out of production.
Because they are so damn good I want to store them so that I can use
them in future.
The problem with rubber seems to be the fact that the softening agent
evaporates with time and makes the tire more hard and brittle. So how
can I prevent that from happening?
So far I have heard about the following solutions:

Essex V6 Engine Oil by
Paul Waites
Hi all,
I am about to change the engine oil in my Mk1 3000GT Capri. Each year I
have run it on old style 20/50 oil as I’ve figured that was the oil it
was manufactured for so I’ll use it.
I realise that oil technology moves on so I asked my local motor factors
what oil is recommended.
It is apparently a 10-30. And reading the container to does say it is
recommended for high milage Ford...

Current Voltage Regulators by
David Oneill
Hi All
I need to replace the Current Voltage Regulator on my 1964 Daimler V8.
The Regulator is a 25 Amp Lucas RB340
I have located a new ‘old stock’ unit but on the side of the cover is a
label with the wording 25AMP (-)
I presume the (-) refers to the unit being negative earth, this is
unfortunate as my car is positive earth.
I believe the polarity of these can be changed - does anyone...

V8 Flathead Spares by
R L Driver
Does anyone know anywhere who do V8 Ford Flathead spares....... Theres
Nordian Services , but they dont seem to answer the phone, ever, and so I
wonder if they are still around. I'm after a set of exhaust manifold
gaskets and it would be a pain getting them from the states, the postage
would be more than the parts.

trunnion trouble (how to change) by
Matt
Hello,
1955 Standard 8 front suspension.
I tried to remove the trunnion by undoing the two 'double threaded' nut
things but found that the two male threaded parts that remain (within the
brass body) are too long to come out of the wishbone. The two halves of the
wishbone are attached by the plate that supports the bottom of the coil
spring so I don't think I can separate it.

Bad Earth?? by
SpitUK
I have a 1976 Spit 1500. The problem is when I try to start the engine it
sounds and turns like there is a bad earth, I have checked over all the
earth connection points and cleaned them. The battery is fully charged. This
problem doesn't occur all the time, maybe more when the engine is warm?
What else could be the problem?

lumenition rev limiter by
beng77
I've just tried to install a second hand lumenition ERL-V adjustable rev
limiter. It's got three wires, black to earth, red to 12v and brown to
the -ve on the coil. After wiring it in it doesn't seem to be limiting the
rev's at all no matter where I have the adjustment screw positioned.
The engine is a 1760cc crossflow with what I believe to be a Lotus twincam
electronic ignition system. The...
